Why do supermarkets stupidly pay rent in Manhattan, London, LA or Singapore when they could pay next to nothing to have a store in the Outback or Siberia?

I had to call the electricity company to resolve a fucking clusterfuck of their making the other day (long story short my electricity meter is faulty), and after 3-4 calls I got to someone who said "jesus christ" after I explained my situation and how they'd made it worse trying to resolve it...

She didn't fix it, it's still not fully fixed after a further 4 days including 29 hours without power, but gee did I feel like I was speaking to a fellow human who was trying to help in that conversation above all others I had with them

One reason is that Epic are very dismissive of Linux, while Steam go out of their way to be supportive and GOG are supportive when it's convenient

Another is trying to lock games into exclusives with them, which other distribution platforms don't do so much

That said, if you don't play games without cross platform multiplayer and don't care about Linux support or see yourself caring any time soon, there's not a huge reason to push you towards steam and away from epic. GOG is more of an anti-DRM thing, however barring sales the price and the cut for the devs is identical on all of them and it's the same game aside from DRM.

Green peppers are unripe and so the seeds generally don't grow into anything

A real gentleman would probably say "conjecture" or "unfounded information", but a less explicit word is "nonsense"

Pay a bunch of tax on it then wonder what to do with my extra 580€ a month

Have you ever used either?

To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet

They bypassed paying $8, getting full access on the nerfed free version

CO2 is 72.7% oxygen by weight, and 27.3% carbon. 2kg is 28.5% of 7kg, so with rounding it works out even if that is assuming that the coal has no impurities - it may be closer to 6kg but essentially it takes oxygen from the air and adds it to the carbon in the coal to form CO2
